It was a real battle! I don't remember teams playing with so many goals in the final rounds... Honestly, I thought Real would win, but Man City managed bravely in this game... I hope the return match will be no less dramatic! I'm sure Man City will be very difficult in Madrid!
Great performance by Manchester City,but Benzema and Vinicius Junior are unstoppable.
Those two can win the UEFA Champions League for Real Madrid.
The Man City defense was the weak spot for the English Team and we all know that Pep Guardiola doesn't like having a more defensive style of his teams.Man City will have a hard time in Madrid,because Real knows how to win such games.Ancelotti is a very clever manager.
There's a small chance for us to see extra time and penalties at the second match in Madrid.That would be nice.

It's too soon to say congratulations because winning in the first leg does not guarantee Manchester City will qualify, moreover the difference is only one goal. Also, Real Madrid scored a goal too in the first half, so Real Madrid's 3 goals didn't happen at once in the second half and you should have seen or at least checked. It was a very tight match, as Real Madrid did not let Manchester City lead by two goals as Real Madrid always managed to narrow the gap. In that way, there is no guarantee that Manchester City will qualify, because if the gameplay is like that, Real Madrid still has a chance to win and qualify for the final.
Remaining one goal is not guarantee for Manchester City qualifying to final UEFA Champion League on this season but I think have potential with Real Madrid always can scoring many goal when home match. Begin with fantastic comeback against with PSG and Chelsea I think could be careful for Manchester City defender, but I was disappointed with Real Madrid defender last night, two goals on early as mistake from Madrid central defender how bad performance last night. I hope they can fit and back to top performance on second leg and give safety for Madrid goal keeper. 
Man City indeed won but some people not too satisfied with their performance in that match because it is not good to conceded 3 goals for home match especially in semi-final and seems counter attack strategy from Madrid has successfully make Man City a little bit difficult and in the second leg i think very possible for Madrid to score more than 2 goals at their home ground so this result is still not safe for Man City go to the final match
Congratulation to Manchester city for the beautiful victory they got from Real Madrid, to prove to the world that they remain unbeatable in this semi final. Manchester city really played Real Madrid in the first half that made them to achieved two goals In the first half, hoping that Real Madrid will not get a goal from the match. But Real Madrid coach made some changes in the second half that made them to achieved 3 goals before the end of the match. Real Madrid tried their possible best to make the match draw, but Manchester city never allowed them to equalize the goals that made Manchester city to defeated Real Madrid 3-4 for the favour of Manchester city.

I expected Manchester City to rush Madrid and get early goals and they did exactly, but what they didn't handle well was how to prevent Benzema from scoring.
In the second leg, both teams have chances since their is not champions league away goals rule anymore. I tip that Real Madrid will qualify because they will not allow early goals again. Also, Real Madrid is not bothered about laliga anymore while Manchester City is still battling with Liverpool in England, that can be a big distraction.
Pep’s game plan was to score as many goals as possible and kill off this tie in the first leg, sadly that didn’t happen. They now have to work twice as hard in Spain. It’s still anyone’s game but Madrid have the advantage. Real Madrid surprised me. I wrote them off totally. They had a good account of themselves and kept the loss respectable though it's mainly due to City's missed chances.This is Benzima best season
Almost everyone believes City got into trouble in the 2nd leg their chances are getting lower they need effort and magic
But Madrid also have a weak side like when Chelsea destroyed them in Spain so Man city should be able to do it too if they want to keep going
We know the coach of Manchester City is Pep Guardiola he really understands how teams from La Liga play including Real Madrid
Manchester City need to improve defense and anticipate Benzema Man city's focus must be on these two sides then the striker did the same as last night
Only in this way can Manchester City have a chance to qualify although it's not easy but it's worth it.
Benzema is just as a saviour to real madrid, Real Madrid performance was very excellent and so interesting. I knew the game will be very competitive for the both team, if not that Manchester City is a strong team that plays well it was not easy for them because real madrid was running after them in scoring goals to draw the with Manchester City , the goal difference between the two team is not much . It was an interesting game, both Real Madrid and Manchester City played well.

I honestly think that Real Madrid has a few more chances (but that doesn't mean anything)
in theory they should be more rested and fresher and in modern football this is a great thing, a huge advantage over the opponent
then clear, anything can happen
A member of the group had to leave the journey after falling. The first leg will be taken by whom?in theory they should be more rested and fresher and in modern football this is a great thing, a huge advantage over the opponent
then clear, anything can happen
The match will be challenging, but we know that Real Madrid is the best team in the history of the Champions League. If Madrid wants to eliminate Manchester City, they should defend well and attack. I saw the match ended with Real Madrid in the lead. There is no certainty, but it is possible.
the game is BEAUTIFUL, 7 goals! many exciting actions! i love it
two great teams that I love
they gave me so many emotions
who knows what will happen in the other match they will play! I expect sparks

I must say it was a beautiful football from start to finish. But had Manchester City been more clinical in front of goal, they would have been looking 6-7 goals against Real Madrid in this match. They keep making the same mistake. Just as they did in last year final. They waste too many chances and gave away and conceded cheap goals. Honestly if Real Madrid play well in the second leg they can overturn this aggregate Easily. And Pep doesn't fair well in Spain on these legs. We'll see Everything to play for in the second leg but I believe Manchester City have what it takes to be Champion.

Yea, we saw an amazing game! 1 goal difference is not impossible to equalize, although ManCity remains the favorite, also for the 2nd leg.More than 2.5 goals pays 2.5, which seems a good deal (considering that 3 out of 4 of Madrid's games would have won that bet)
This was a very good bet in retrospect. I think a similar bet could work very well also in the 2nd legEven for tonight's game this could be interesting: >2.5 goals here pays a bit less (2.2), but I think we'll see another with some goals like 3-0 or 3-1 for Liverpool

He is probably the best striker in the world at the moment, with this red hot form. Entertaining match overall and yeah, Man City just couldnt keep it together defensively to ice the match for the 2nd leg. Lead by 3 goals to 1 but end up being 4-3. Real should go into the home leg, happy with that performance. Pep's experience play in Santiago Bernabeu should come in handy. Going to be a cracker of a match.

Just imagine Benzema scoring in consecutive games against PSG, Chelsea and now Manchester City, I wonder what he will do in their next game by next week.
KARIM BENZEMA is always available when the team needs him in every match.
He has conquered Chelsea, PSG and The Verge of Conquering Manchester City. The Highest Top Scorer In The League.
Benzema is sensational in this year's champions league. He's now my favourite No.9 player
Madrid is lucky to have a great striker, Benzema, at this time he is like a spirit for El Real, his first goal against Manchester City had a very big influence to lift the spirits of his teammates, and Madrid proved successful in reducing the goal difference. Not only that, his two goals in the match also made him the king of goals in the Champions League. He has been spectacular this season and deserves to be crowned the Ballon d'Or winner.KARIM BENZEMA is always available when the team needs him in every match.

Karim Benzema has matured, especially this season as Benzema's best form in my opinion, he has scored a lot of important goals for Real Madrid.
I can understand why Real Madrid struggle to win when Benzema isn't playing, because his impact on the pitch is huge. Not only scoring goals,
but every time Real Madrid is left behind by Man City, we can see how Benzema motivates his teammates. There is no doubt that Benzema's
two goals against Man City were very beautiful, not many strikers in the world can do that. I like you support Benzema to win the Ballon d'Or.
Benzema really deserved it before retiring.
Benzema has a great chance to become the top goal scorer after his toughest competitor Lewandowski can't add more goals. I'm sure in
the second leg against Man City, Benzema will score again, but the question is whether Benzema is able to bring Real Madrid through to
the final or not. Because it must be admitted that Man City played better in the first leg, even Man City should have scored more than 4 goals,
if we saw enough big opportunities that were created. I predict that the second leg will be even harder, because it is the match that will determine
who will qualify for the final.
The game seemed to have been too much for Alaba to handle. Like, everything about it was pretty fast and you can tell he wondered how he missed the ball and Gabriel Jesus had to get it and placed it so safely in the net. There was no way the keeper could have caught such a ball, looking athte proximity between G. A Jesus and the goal.
One perron that missed a good chance of enrolling on the score sheet was Riyad Mahrez. You can imagine him with a touch to have between the central defence and the Leeper was so much exposed and somehow, R. Mahrez still found the bar... They still got to win either ways and it's of the most importance.
